CroatiaNoah Lyles, a 29-year-old American sprinter, has announced that he will not compete this calendar year due to an injury to his left hamstring. The injury occurred during the 200-meter final at the national championships, and although he initially thought it was minor, the situation worsened, leading him to decide against risking further training and competitions. Lyles was scheduled to participate in a high-stakes meet in Budapest from September 11–13, featuring a prize fund of ten million dollars, where top athletes including Olympic and world champions would compete. Instead of competing, Lyles will attend the event as a coach. He previously won gold in the 100 meters and bronze in the 200 meters at the Paris 2024 Olympics, along with three world championship medals and three relay golds.
